The International Criminal Court has just issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leaders. Israel's leadership is charged with - Starvation - Causing great suffering - Wilful killing / murder - Directing attacks against a civilian population - Crimes against humanity of extermination and murder - Persecution and other humane acts
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The ICC has not issued arrest warrants for any person mentioned. The prosecutor has made an application to the court but the warrants themselves have not yet and may not be approved. bbc.co.uk/news/live/worl…

Dear 🇬🇧, The usual suspects are at it again, trying to convince you that the NHS — which they destroyed — isn’t fit for purpose and that you need a new healthcare system. They’re dead wrong. Here’s how to challenge them. #SOSNHS

Completely identify with this. You either ruin A/L trying to deal with stuff whilst away or face weeks of hell on return scrambling to catch up with admin alongside slammed clinical work. This is the crux of staff well being in the @NHS and the answer isn’t a wellness webinar!

When I am in charge of the country, I will introduce legislation to require companies to replace the line "We are experiencing a high volume of calls” with "We have not hired enough operators to answer our phones."

Colleagues @RoyalFreeNHS are transforming the care of these patients with judicious use of systemic tPA +/- TIPS & catheter directed t’lysis. True MDT approach involving hepatology, IR, HPB surgery and haem. See @APandT link in this thread @DavidPatch1 @DrLChina

It's indefensible for the BBC to keep inviting Julia Hartley-Brewer onto #bbcqt: she's a climate-denier whose only credential is as a Murdoch mouthpiece & reliable clickbait. They don’t invite flat-earthers on, so why climate-deniers? The BBC should do much better. >RT,to agree!
